Dean and Paul are wonderful hosts and made our stay at the Birchwood extremely comfortable. They also helped us navigate our upcoming trip through inclement weather. The hotel itself is lovely and very thoughtfully constructed. Will definitely stay here next time in Pitlochry.

It is difficult to describe in few words how wonderful this little hotel is!
The generous and kind owners have obviously put their heart and soul into the hotel providing the best service possible to their guests.
Paul and Dean went above and beyond giving us the best experience of their hotel and Pitlochry. Their attention to detail is incredible, from amenities in the room, gorgeous toiletries and a special 'pantry' as well as providing superb gluten free and vegetarian alternatives at breakfast
I have no hesitation in saying this was the best hotel I have ever stayed in!

The grounds and property are so lovely, and Paul and Dean are fantastic hosts! Breakfast choices/options were quality, did not have chance to have dinner. Would love to come back and stay again sometime.

Visited Birchwood Pitlochry for a cycle sportive. The hosts were very friendly, 5am breakfast made available for participants in the sportive. Birchwood Pitlochry is a fantastic place to stay, close to the town centre and a walking distance to the town centre.

What a wonderful place to stay. Paul and Dean make you feel like you are visiting their home and do everything they can to spoil you.
Besides the fact that the location is beautiful, they also deliver quality in what they serve at breakfast and, if desired, dinner. Pitlochry itself is too touristy for us, but Birchwood is a reason to come back!
